SELF-CLEAN

The self-clean cycle uses above normal cooking temperatures to clean the oven’s interior automatically.

It is normal for flare-ups, smoking, or flaming to occur during cleaning if the oven is heavily soiled. It is better to clean the oven regularly rather than to wait until there is a heavy build-up of soil in the oven.

During the cleaning process, the kitchen should be well ventilated to get rid of normal odors associated with cleaning.

CAUTION

•During the Self-Cleaning cycle, the outside of the range can become very hot to touch. DO NOT leave small children unattended near the appliance.

•The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.

•DO NOT line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any other part of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so will destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking results and cause permanent damage to the oven interior (aluminum foil will melt to the interior surface of the oven).

•DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use care when opening the oven door after the Self-Cleaning cycle. Stand to the side of the oven when opening the door to allow hot air or steam to escape. The oven may still be VERY HOT.

•The silver--colored oven racks can be self-cleaned, but they will darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide.

•Soil on the front frame of the range and outside the gasket on the door will need to be cleaned by hand. Clean these areas with hot water, soap-filled steel-wool pads, or cleansers such as Soft Scrub. Rinse well with clean water and dry.

•Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass material of the oven door gasket cannot withstand abrasion. It is essential for the gasket to remain intact. If you notice it becoming worn or frayed,replace it.

•Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the oven bottom.•Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place and the oven light is off.•Do not leave baking/ pizza stone in the oven during the Self-Clean cycle.
